I find it hard to believe that this engine had an encounter with Canada geese
We've been through this long ago in this thread i.e. barit1 etc. and myself.

Yes it is true that large birds mangle fan blades. However that is dependent on the bird entering the engine as a whole bird and not just broken up into small bits by the inlet cowl.

I expect that when the public hearing starts that additional data will come out clarifying what damage many pounds of the bird guts did cause behind the fan (I'm still hoping for a beer bet with barit1
